Dodo Yogi
"Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen."
―Brené Brown
We work with a small community of artisans from the town of Ubud, in the mountains of Bali, Indonesia. A beautiful place full of raw talent.
Bali is my home and inspiration, somewhere I can use my imagination to create anything… somewhere anything is possible.
I wanted to support people that I trust, and admire.
Clothing can be made with love, compassion. It may take more time… but it will shine with care, fair wages, good vibrations, and happy business partnerships.
This is what Dodo Yogi stands for.”
―Dodo
No unfair human labour
Support your local community
Slow fashion
Spread the love
The love I have for movement, body expression and acroyoga has inspired me to create this brand .. and the feedback has been so rewarding.
The support and sacred occasion to spend time within the feminine community, to spend afternoons in nature shooting for Dodo Yogi, integrating the feminine sensuality and connecting it to my brand with a message…
Be Who You Are
We would like to build a platform for exploration, of the human imagination. A place where ideas come together and become reality..
“Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys & girls.
Make your lives extraordinary”

Love always Dodo Yogi
The soul
Dodo Yogi is an independent clothing brand inspired by the practice of yoga and body movement.Every place I go is a new source of inspiration. Designing clothing is like poetry, it comes with a big wave of inspiration and sometimes a big wave of nothing. That is the beauty of being an artist, learning to inspire yourself from a moment of despair, or maybe a moment of emptiness, make your emotions be your inspiration. Don’t be scared to show who you are and how you feel. Dodo Yogi would like to encourage women to express themselves with confidence and truth.
At its core, Dodo Yogi is about coming back to the roots: women circles, supporting each other and what it means to be an awaken sister. A being you can relate with, learn from, and most of all support, nurture, and respect.
As generosity is part of a woman’s essence, we want to redistribute to all those in need. The opportunities we create and the resources we generate will be used to encourage and assist Balinese community initiatives such as Yayasan Kemanusiaan Ibu Pertiwi or Mitra Bali Fait Trade.
How we work
All our clothes are made by a small community of artisans in the mountains of Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. They use traditional techniques passed on through the generations, and vividly kept secret.
As we grow, our aim is to provide responsible fashion together with avant-garde aesthetics. Unique designs coupled to natural dies and textiles. The fabric we currently use is 80% Rayon and 20% Lycra.
Behind the Brand
Everything takes more time when you are a small business. We are two people running this company. Me, Dhoani Berraquero, 28, I design the collections and am always looking for new talent; and Alexandros Pantalis, 28, my dear friend who makes sure everything runs right.
We’re bound by responsible entrepreneurship, our way to make our little change.
Nature
My whole life I grew up in nature, connected to earth itself in one way or another; horse riding, swimming in the ocean, hiking and sailing. My connection to nature, has influenced my design’s considerably.
Nature is everything.
And this is why this brand, while it’s growing and exploring its many possibilities, will always have as a priority to support the ecosystem in a non-harming way.
The Future
Dodo Yogi creates new collections every year, and we aim to keep improving our sustainability practices by always looking into better alternatives for our processes.
Expanding with sportswear textiles, like recycled polyester (R.P.E.T) and Spandex, finding a way to be more responsible towards our mother earth and provide comfortable and breathable yoga wear.
